Sicilian closed when black pose pirc or modern def The approach of Sicilian closed when black pose pirc or modern defense arises to the extent that the black collaborates in the transposition playing c5 in some point of the opening whether he has play...

Transfer from a Closed Sicilian ECO B24 to ECO B47 I will try to explain how to move from a closed Sicilian ECO B24 to an ECO B47 or ECO B80. 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.g3 e6 4.Bg2 Nf6 5.Ng-e2 Be7 6.O-O O-O 7.d4 (if 7.f4 or 7.d3 or 7.a3 I think that whi...

Closed Sicilian New Main line 6.Be3 b5. In this closed sicilian line as on page 52 of the Closed Sicilian PDF file. After 11. Nc1 Qa5 12. c3 bc 13. bc Nc6 I see one game featuring the move 14. Bf4. My question is - how best to deal wi... Started 09/25/07 at 00:55:46 by gringo	0	2509	09/25/07 at 00:55:44 By: gringo
Closed Sicilian (?) Move Order Question As White, I encountered the following move order last week: 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.g3 e6 4.Bg2 Nf6 5.d3 d5. Later I consulted Lane's book and King's book on the Closed Sicilian, and I had a hard ti... Started 03/22/06 at 23:22:39 by dsanchez	0	2023	03/22/06 at 23:22:38 By: dsanchez
An interesting interpratation of the closed So setting is Zurich 1953 and Smyslov sits across from Taimonov. What transgresses in the opening may seem a bit queer to some and a bit magical to others. Even though the game was a draw the opening ... Started 11/12/05 at 10:26:37 by basqueknight (Ex Member)	0	1550	11/12/05 at 10:26:36 By: basqueknight - Ex Member
Transfer from ECO C26 to ECO B24 Also the title of this post could have been like transferring from a Sicilian scheveningen ECO B45 to an ECO B24. The point of contact between these two and ECO C26 is quite interesting. Let's se... Started 03/13/17 at 16:21:39 by MARCO	1	1928	03/13/17 at 16:48:17 By: RdC
Closed Sicilian a Miles move After 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.g3 g6 4.Bg2 Bg7 5.d3 d6 6.Be3 b5!? seems possible as played by Tony Miles, my question is if White plays the cautious 7.Qd2 (7.e5!?

Interesting Closed Variation 2. ... b6 Well, this game just ended as a draw, so I thought I'd bring forth yet another one of my crazy ideas. In correspondence, against the Closed Sicilian, I tried b6 which seemed to bring a great posi... Started 12/21/03 at 18:13:08 by nexirae	1	2193	12/22/03 at 12:37:39 By: alumbrado
Closed, early a6-b5 Hello. Today I had the black side of a Closed Sicilian, that started: 1 e4 c5 2 Nc3 g6 3 g3 Bg7 4 Bg2 Nc6 5 d3 d6 6 Be3 a6?! 7 Qd2 (a4!) b5!? The move was essentially a slip, I played i... Started 07/20/08 at 01:41:07 by nexirae	2	3727	07/20/08 at 14:47:06 By: kylemeister

Closed Sicil: 1.e4 2.Nc3 3.g3 4.Bg2 5.d3 6.Be3 I faced the closed sicilian in a recent tournament. It was the Be3, Qd2 line: 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.g3 g6 4.d3 d6 5.Bg2 Bg7 6.Be3 I usually play the Rogozenko ..e5 line, which on this occasion I th...

1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 a6!? 3. ???

5...b5 in the closed Sicilian I recently took a draw in a closed sicilian on move 5 because I had no idea what to do.

Uncommon way to answer the closed SIZ? Hey, folks, I am tired of always those same position in the closed SIZ with Nc6+g6+Bg7+e5+d6... I need a new approach to meet the closed SIZ !

How to meet ...Nd4 in Closed Sicilian (B26) I have decided to have a fling with the Closed Sicilian (B26), but I am confused about how best to handle Black's thematic idea of ...Nd4 in the 5...e6 lines and the 5...d6 lines.
